If i go with a .041 head gasket how much lower will that make my compression.I had .039 gaskets on the motor.And if i go with the .041 head gasket how much can i shave off the heads to up the compession. I had some fel pro 1003 gasket that i bought and didnt use thats why im asking.The motor is a sbc 406 with flats tops,64 cc heads
Assuming zero deck and not changing anything but the gasket....
0.039" gasket 11.622:1
0.041" gasket 11.564:1
The 0.433cc difference in head gasket volume can be made up for by cutting about 0.003" off the head surface. Don't do it, I'm just answering your question.
Its not zero deckedQuote:
